Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Put it simply

DH wants a boat good upwind under F7-8 conditions.

You need a strong design, upon which to implement a number of gale-ready measures, as per helsm, sails, ballast, ventilation,...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

I can not disagree....
Salona, pogo,... all boats derived from the Wallys concept, good for day-light and delight cruising.

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Boats are currently designed either to win, or to offer comfy interiors, or to catch the eye.

Few sail as seriously as DH, in difficult seas...

A brand new HR64 may top the 2mEUR tag, or...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

You mean tender for heeling, maybe.

It was prone to tilt 30° easily, but then it stayed strong.

Leaving NZ it remained 60° down on board. For one full week :-)

Uncomfortable, but...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

A grey water tank with long intake hoses is quite undesirable.

The idea of having suspicious material circulating around is quite unappealing :-P

Please consider that water ballast will make...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

DH
You need a relatively long boat, with empty ends, for good steering and power without over-canvassing the rig (staysail and Yankee?)

Like was Gipsy Moth IV, but with a bit higher bulkhead to...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal

Yes, materials technology first.

Hydrodinamics happen to be the same since ever :-) , and fluidodinamics is some 80year old.

Trial pools were in use since then. Hydrofoils were already on in...

Re: Pilothouse Variations -- Boreal
